Another tough day for Zach Railey. After four races he’s 12th, but well off medal pace. Daniel Foster
Ben who? Jonas Christensen further bolstered his lead with another impressive day on the Finn course. He was close to last in the second race before storming back to 6th. Daniel Forster
USA Laser sailor Rob Crane struggled today. He said the downwind legs were particularly challenging. Daniel Forster
Erik Storck and Trevor Moore sailed consistently on Day 1 of their regatta. With a 6th and a 10th, they’re definitely still in the hunt. Daniel Forster
The 49ers sailed on the shifty Nothe course today, where no lead was safe. Daniel Forster
The 49ers know how to put on a good show. The branded flags are a great touch. Daniel Forster
